Driver Identified In Deadly Monday Morning Crash

An 87 year old woman was killed Monday morning in a fatal crash at the intersection of Highway 77 and Hickman Road. 

The Lancaster County Sheriff's Office say Laverda Baehr of Hastings was pronounced dead at the scene just after 7:00. 

Authorities say Baehr was traveling westbound on Hickman Road in her Ford Taurus when she pulled in front of a northbound Lincoln Town Car on Highway 77. 

The Town Car hit the driver's side of the Taurus before hitting a third vehicle, a GMC pickup truck, that was stopped in a turn lane.

The driver of the Town Car was taken to the hospital with non life threatening injuries. 

The driver of the GMC was uninjured. Authorities say everyone involved in the crash were wearing seat belts and that alcohol is not a factor.
